Fairview Selections (Betting odds are correct at the time of writing and are subject to change).
Race 1 – 1000m (Maiden Plate)
The card opens with a work riders maiden, so no suggested bets from me. Keep an eye on the betting if you are going to have a wager, and please stake cautiously.
Suggested Bet – No Bet
Race 2 – 1400m (Maiden Plate)
RUBY CLAIRE showed good improvement in her first start in Fairview. She will come on from that run and can finish in the money once again.
Suggested Bet – RUBY CLAIRE EW @ 4.5/1❌

Race 3 – 1400m (MR 80 Handicap)
EL ROMIACHI is better than his last two races. Carded to race with 55.5kgs, and if he reproduces his best form, he should be competitive in this field.
Suggested Bet – EL ROMIACHI EW @ 15/1❌
Race 4 – 1600m (MR 96 Handicap)
For all exotics players, you must go wide in this leg. It is a competitive race, and many with winning chances. I believe there is massive EW value on FUNKY MUSIC. He has been disappointing since moving to the Eastern Cape. However, he is racing with a handy mass of 54.5kgs and can sneak into the placings.
Suggested Bet – FUNKY MUSIC EW @ 35/1 Void-Scratched

Race 5 – 1200m (FM 78 Handicap)
MY AMI BEACH should have finished closer last time but hung at the closing stages. She is taking on stronger but carries a handy mass of 55kgs. If running in a straight line, she should fight out the finish.
Suggested Bet – MY AMI BEACH EW @ 10/1✅ EW Place
Race 6 – 1200m (Classified Stakes)
ABSOLU NOIR is taking on stronger, but he is in good form. He races with just 49.5kgs, and despite a wide draw, his low mass could prove the difference between a place finish and running out of the money.
Suggested Bet – ABSOLU NOIR EW @ 10/1❌

Race 7 – 1200m (FM 66 Handicap)
HOLLY’S VIEW needed her comeback run and should strip fitter. She carries top weight, but on best form she should run into the placings.
Suggested Bet – HOLLY’S VIEW EW @ 40/1❌
Race 8 – 1000m (MR 74 Handicap)
WILLIAM THE FIRST is better than his last start. His form before that run was good, and he can bounce back in the lucky last. He takes a drop in class, and racing with 58kgs, and he represents the EW value.
Suggested Bet – WILLIAM THE FIRST EW @ 10/1❌
